The Most Powerful Man in the World

Of course, a background like Zhao Xiong is definitely not an exception among many officials in the imperial court. After learning the news of Chu Yi, Zhao Xiong, who has such deep hatred and clings to the hatred of the past, is obviously not alone. Both are so simple.

Chapter nine hundred and seventy-fifth comfort the emperor

Zhao Xiong has always believed that Zhu Houzhao, who is the emperor, could not endure the existence of Chu Yi, and he would definitely try his best to remove the threat of Chu Yi, so Zhao Xiong was full of hope, and even joined a group of people such as Xu negative. , pinning the hope of revenge on the Son of Heaven.

However, people are not as good as heaven. They never dreamed that Zhu Houzhao believed in Chu Yi so much. They saw the scene above the court.

Xu Neg and Chen Kai were just targeting Chu Yi, and the emperor went into a frenzy on the spot. They had never seen Zhu Houzhao so angry.

Zhu Houzhao has always been the face of the benevolent prince, so when Zhu Houzhao ordered Xu Wei and Chen Kai to be beaten to death in court, the shock to Zhao Xiong and the others can be imagined.

Zhao Xiong was kneeling in the ancestral hall at the moment, looking at the tablets, the fear in his heart was hard to dispel.

The Son of Heaven has ordered Jin Yiwei and Dongchang to investigate Xu Neg and Chen Kai, and he has been very close to Xu Neg in the past, and he is not the only one who knows this.

Because Xu Neu is a servant of the first department, he can be said to be a high-ranking existence. It is naturally a good thing to be able to draw a relationship with Xu Neg, a promising official, but at this moment, it has become a reminder of life. .

Just as Zhao Xiong entered the ancestral hall, a team of Jinyiwei guards appeared in front of Zhao Xiong's mansion under the leadership of a stall head.

Few people dared to stop the suffocating Dongchang Fanzi just standing there, let alone the two servants who guarded the door in front of the Zhao residence.

When the two servants saw a group of Dongchang Fanzi appearing at the door, they fell to the ground in fright. How dare they stop this group of men and horses.

Zhu Dantou is also a small leader in the East Factory. At this moment, he glanced at the two servants with a fierce look, kicked the door of the Zhao residence, and opened the door of the Zhao residence on the spot. Kicked and flew out.

A group of Dongchang Fanzi rushed into the Zhao residence compound directly under the leadership of Zhu Stalltou.

The Zhao mansion said that it was not big or small, but it was not too small. It was the official family, and he was about to get angry, but when he saw that the person who came was actually a fan from Dongchang, he rolled his eyes and fainted in fright.

Fools all know that it is not a good thing for them to let Dongchang come to their door. If they don't, the Zhao family will be destroyed.

Zhu Dantou just swept the frightened Zhao family members coldly. For these family members, Zhu Dantou didn’t care about them at all. His mission here was to arrest Zhao Xiong, Xu’s accomplice. brought to justice.

"Where is Zhao Xiong?"

The terrified group of people listened to Zhu Dangtou's question, you look at me, I look at you, and everyone stared wide-eyed, not knowing how to answer Zhu Dangtou's question.

With the Pu sword in his hand, he pointed at one of them, and Zhu Zhantou shouted, "Are you trying to cover up the rebels?"

As a result, these people were so frightened that they froze on the ground when they heard Zhu Dangtou's words, their eyes were blank, how could they answer his words, who made the name of the anti-thief in Zhu Dangtou's mouth too scary.

That's a traitor, especially if it came from the mouth of Dongchang, which almost means that their Zhao family has no room to turn around.

Glancing at the crowd coldly, Zhu Zhan waved his hand and said, "Search it for me, even if you dig three feet into the ground, you must catch the rebel Zhao Xiong for me."

Immediately, apart from the dozen or so fans who stayed to guard the family members, the rest of the people began to search the mansion.

As a court official, Zhao Xiong was almost certain to be an official of Xu Wei's party, and Dongchang naturally dispatched the most capable personnel.

Zhu Dangtou is just a leader on the bright side, but among this Dongchang fanzi, there is one person who is very eye-catching. It is Xu Ning who accompanied Chu Yi to this Fang Shijie not long ago.

Xu Ning's cultivation base has already reached the realm of half-step heaven and man, and he can step into the realm of heaven and man in one step as long as the opportunity arrives.

It was just a cup of tea. The fans who were ordered to leave came back one by one and returned to the head of the Zhu stall. Obviously, there was no trace of Zhao Xiong.

Zhu Stall couldn't help frowning. The news they got, Zhao Xiong returned to the mansion since he went down to court, and never went out again, but now his mother can't find Zhao Xiong's trace, so the reason why There is only one possibility for this to happen, and that is that Zhao Xiong is very likely to hide.

Taking a deep breath, Zhu Zhan bowed towards Xu Ning and said, "I also ask Master Xu to help you."

Xu Ning was sent here to prevent accidents, and now Zhao Xiong cannot be found for a while. Of course, this does not mean that the people from the East Factory have no ability to find Zhao Xiong, but it obviously takes a little time. But Zhu Zangtou was in a hurry to grab Zhao Xiong and go back, so in order to prevent any accidents from dragging on for a long time, Zhu Zangtou directly asked Xu Ning to take action.

Xu Ning nodded slightly, his mind moved, and the huge Zhao residence was instantly shrouded in his spiritual thoughts.

With the strength of the spiritual sense of a half-step celestial powerhouse, even the wind and grass within a radius of several miles can be sensed, not to mention only a mere Zhao residence.

Soon the breath of everyone in Zhao's residence emerged in Xu Ning's heart, and Xu Ning locked in a place in an instant.

Seeing Xu Ning poking at the champion of the Champions League, he said: "There is a secret room under the study, and Zhao Xiong is in that secret room."

Zhu Stall was overjoyed when he heard the words, and bowed his hands to Xu Ning.

Zhao Xiong, who was hiding in the underground secret room, suddenly heard hurried and chaotic footsteps coming from above his head. Soon there was a bang, the door to the secret room was opened, and a robe of Dongchang Fanzi appeared in Zhao Xiong's room. in sight.

When he saw several Dongchang fans staring at him with joy, Zhao Xiong sighed in his heart, and obviously understood that he was doomed this time.

"Hahaha, the ancestors are on top, the unfilial descendants are here to accompany you!"

While speaking, Zhao Xiong bumped into the table in front of him.

The table case is made of high-quality iron wood, and it is extremely sturdy. If it hits one end, it is not uncommon for him to break his head on the spot, not to mention that Zhao Xiong still went to the corner of the table. This is really true. If he collided, Zhao Xiong would lose his life in all likelihood.

"Want to die? It's just delusional!"

Dongchang takes people, no one is not afraid, there are many people who would rather commit suicide than enter the Dongchang to be tortured by the Dongchang, but there are very few people who can successfully commit suicide under the eyes of the Dongchang people.

Before Zhao Xiong collided with the table top, a fierce wind hit Zhao Xiong's body. Immediately, Zhao Xiong's body froze, and he fell to the ground with a thud of inertia. The blood was flowing, not to mention how miserable it looked.

Zhao Xiong was arrested, and relatives in the mansion were also thrown into prison. Don't say anything about implicated innocents. In this era, one person succeeded, one person was guilty, and the whole family was implicated.

In the eyes of Dongchang, what Zhao Xiong committed was a major crime of treason, so if one of Zhao's relatives counted as one, he would definitely not be able to escape.

Not only Zhao Xiong, Yidong Factory also has the ability of Jin Yiwei, but all officials who are close to Xu Neg and Chen Kai are counted as one, I dare not say that all of them have been taken into prison, at least most of them have clues that show them. It was the same party of the two, who were all taken down and thrown into prison.

In less than a day, the entire capital was full of turmoil and trees, and the mansions were smashed open by Jinyiwei and Dongchang troops, and then a large number of criminal officials and relatives were arrested.

The entire capital fell into a palpitating calm. Of course, it was only some officials who were close to the two who were in danger. As for those officials who knew them well, they were sneering on the sidelines, and the people in Beijing did not. Affected by the slightest influence, even many people hid in secret and watched the officials who were arrested by Dongchang and Jinyiwei applauding.

Over the years, Dongchang and Jinyiwei have been under the control of Chu Yi and Zhu Houzhao successively, and few people have dared to harass ordinary people. On the contrary, for the powerful and officials, Dongchang and Jinyiwei have a more fierce reputation.

Therefore, in the hearts of many people, as long as they keep their peace, there is absolutely no need to be afraid of Dongchang and Jinyiwei. If there are people from Dongchang and Jinyiwei who dare to disturb the people for no reason, they can even go to Dongchang and Jinyiwei Yamen to beat drums and complain about their grievances.

In a tea shop, some tea guests were excitedly looking at the officials and their relatives who were arrested by Jin Yiwei in a mansion not far from the tea house.

"Look, this dog official must have happened, otherwise, Jin Yiwei would not be able to pick up people in person."

"Tsk tsk, I don't know what these officials did, and they actually provoked Jinyiwei and Dongchang to take people all over the city."

There was a well-informed tea guest with a look of smugness on his face at this moment, and whispered to everyone: "I'm afraid you don't know, not long ago, there was an official attacking His Royal Highness King Wu in court at the great court meeting. , trying to separate the relationship between His Royal Highness King Wu and His Majesty..."

"Oh my god, there are people who are so bold. If your Majesty and His Royal Highness King Wu are not in harmony, I'm afraid that the only people who will be unlucky will be us people. Do these people want me to be plunged into boundless chaos?"

The people of the capital have been used to seeing all kinds of wind and rain these years, and naturally not everyone can fool them. Some people can be said to be quite familiar with the movements of officials above the court.

Daming couldn't help but talk about folks. It is conceivable that when these people gather together, there will be endless topics to talk about.

Looking at the officials who were pushed forward by Jinyiwei officials, these tea guests couldn't help showing a bit of hatred in their eyes.

No matter what the officials of the world think or say, Daming can have today, but these people in the capital are very clear in their hearts, if there is no Chu Yi and Zhu Houzhao, Daming will never have the grand occasion today.

That is to say, today's grand occasion of Daming is entirely based on the mutual relationship between Chu Yi and Zhu Houzhao. Whether it is Chu Yi or Zhu Houzhao, if one of the two has an accident, or if they are fighting each other , Daming's current good situation will definitely come to an end.

Therefore, those officials who actually tried to alienate the relationship between the emperor and Chu Yi were in the eyes of these people as heinous people, even if they raided their families and wiped out their families.

In one day, dozens of officials were thrown into the prison of Jinyiwei and Dongchang. Although most of these officials were middle- and low-level officials, Xu Wei did it like this. There are actually two of them at the ministerial level.

A servant can be regarded as a high-ranking officer. I never imagined that officials of this level would be involved in it, which made Cao Shaoqin and Yue Buqun even more intensively investigated.Try not to let anyone suspicious.

In the evening, Chu Yi was playing chess with Zhu Houzhao in the imperial garden. Zhu Houzhao was sitting opposite Chu Yi in his normal clothes, holding the chess piece in his hand, and said to Chu Yi with a sigh: "If I remember correctly, last time I was like a big companion. It's been a long time since we sat together and played chess together without any distractions."

Hearing Zhu Houzhao's sighing tone, Chu Yi sighed and said, "If your Majesty wants to find Chu to play chess, whether it is to go to Wu Wangfu or summon Chu to the palace, Chu will definitely accompany him."

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help laughing when he heard the words: "What my partner said, I took it seriously! Don't be impatient when the time comes."

Chu Yi just smiled.

Wang Zheng stood beside him, his eyebrows lowered, as if he was in a state of concentration.

There was a burst of hurried footsteps, and they saw Yue Buqun and Cao Shaoqin coming together. When they saw Chu Yi and Zhu Houzhao who were playing chess there, they subconsciously slowed down, for fear of being disturbed. Zhu Houzhao and Chu Yi.

As they approached, the two stood with their hands down and did not rush to disturb the two rulers and ministers who were playing chess. Instead, Chu Yi glanced at Zhu Houzhao who was busy playing chess, and then said to the two who were standing there. : "Cao Shaoqin and Yue Buqun, but do you have anything to tell Your Majesty?"

At this moment, Zhu Houzhao just raised his head and glanced at the two of them. The smile on his face faded, and an imperial majesty filled the air and said, "What happened to what I asked the two of you to do?"

Yue Buqun and Cao Shaoqin looked at each other, and saw Cao Shaoqin stepped forward and said to Zhu Houzhao: "Go back to your majesty, the ministers have already arrested all the accomplices of Chen Kai and Xu Fu, and the trial has been completed. Here, I also invite Your Majesty to take a look."

Speaking of which, Cao Shaoqin pointed to a box of files carried by several servants. Needless to say, this box of files was the confession from the interrogation of Dongchang and Jinyiwei.

Zhu Houzhao raised his brows. To be honest, Zhu Houzhao is quite satisfied with the efficiency of Dongchang and Jinyiwei. After all, it is not easy to do these things in such a short period of time.

As soon as he reached out and grabbed it, he saw a volume of files fell into Zhu Houzhao's hands. As Zhu Houzhao flipped through several volumes, Zhu Houzhao's complexion became more and more gloomy. Suddenly, Zhu Houzhao threw the volume in his hand and snorted coldly. : "Okay, okay, worthy of being a good minister of Zhen, are they treating me as a three-year-old child, or do they think they can control my words and deeds."

Seeing that Zhu Houzhao's reaction was so intense, Chu Yi couldn't help but be a little curious, what did these officials do?

He stretched out his hand, and the file that Zhu Houzhao threw out just now fell into Chu Yi's hands. With a glance, Chu Yi's mouth twitched, and his complexion became extremely gloomy. He understood why Zhu Houzhao reacted. will be so big.

In fact, in this file, the content of an official's confession was too irritating. According to the official's confession, Xu Wei and the others planned to target him, Chu Yi, and even put their ideas on Zhu Houzhao.

Xu Neg and Chen Kai's attack on the court is just the beginning. If Zhu Houzhao is not angry, then these people will use their own influence to secretly send people to discredit the emperor in Beijing and provoke them. relationship between people.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Turning his hands and putting the file aside, Chu Yi said to Zhu Houzhao, "Your Majesty doesn't need to get angry because of some villains!"

Zhu Houzhao took a deep breath and said: "The reason why I am angry is because these people are so ignorant, do you mean that I am the kind of emperor who is incompetent in their eyes? I even want to provoke the relationship between me and my great companion. ."

Speaking of which, Zhu Houzhao flashed a cold light in his eyes and said: "It seems that only by means of thunder can I make them remember a little bit, and never provoke my bottom line. I really know how to kill!"

It can be seen that Zhu Houzhao was really stimulated this time, otherwise Zhu Houzhao would not have said such a thing with his temperament.

After all, Zhu Houzhao has a mellow nature and is not the kind of monarch who is suspicious of indiscriminate killings. If not, I am afraid that Zhu Houzhao would not be able to make Chu Yi value so much, and even put so much thought into Zhu Houzhao.

With a wave of his hand, Zhu Houzhao said to Chu Yi, "You don't need to ask your partner about this matter, and there will be people who confuse black and white to slander your partner."

Zhu Houzhao thought that he had to think about Chu Yi, so he took care of everything neatly, even if he might be regarded as a tyrant afterwards, Zhu Houzhao would not hesitate.

Yue Buqun and Cao Shaoqin, who were standing on the side, lowered their heads one by one, listening to Zhu Houzhao and Chu Yi's conversation, they did not intend to interject.

At this moment, Zhu Houzhao pondered slightly: "I passed on my will, and summoned several cabinet elders to come, and said that I have something to discuss with them."

Sitting aside, Chu Yi naturally understood that Zhu Houzhao had summoned Wang Yangming, Yang Yiqing and others to enter the palace at this time. Obviously, Zhu Houzhao did not lose his mind because of his anger even when he was angry.

Chu Yi glanced at Zhu Houzhao with admiration, obviously very satisfied with Zhu Houzhao's calmness.

After the great court meeting, Wang Yangming, Yang Yiqing and other cabinet elders did not rest even when they returned to their mansion, and Zhi Zhi has been paying attention to the changes in the capital.

As expected, the efficiency of Dongchang and Jinyiwei's work was as high as ever, and they did not exceed their expectations at all. A group of officials who were obviously closely related to Xu Negong and Chen Kai were taken into prison, which was all expected. matter.

Then it depends on how the emperor will deal with these people. If the emperor does not care about other things and will kill these officials when he comes up, then as ministers, Wang Yangming and Yang Yiqing are considering how to persuade them. Zhu Houzhao.

After all, as the Son of Heaven, even if he really wants to kill, he cannot kill for no reason. There must be a reason for killing, otherwise, he will not be able to explain to the world at all.

After all, even as an emperor, it is impossible to really act recklessly, and the so-called reckless behavior, I am afraid that only the kind of tyrant who has passed today, regardless of tomorrow, can do it.

As the cabinet elders, Wang Yangming, Yang Yiqing and Zhu Houzhao can also be regarded as the monarch and the minister. Over the years, the monarch and the minister have met each other. In Wang Yangming's view, Zhu Houzhao is definitely the kind of emperor who has been through the ages. They naturally don't want Zhu Houzhao because of this incident. And what stains are left behind.

In Wang Yangming's mansion, Yang Yiqing was stroking his beard and said to Wang Yangming with a worried look in his eyes: "Wang Shangshu, don't you worry that Your Majesty will make some decisions that will harm your reputation in anger?"

Wang Yangming sat there with a leisurely attitude, glanced at Yang Yiqing, and said with a slight smile: "Elder Ge is a little over-conceived, not to mention that His Majesty is the Lord of Shengming, even if His Majesty may be affected by emotions this time. He will make some decisions that will jeopardize his reputation, but Mr. Ge should forget that with His Highness King Wu, could it be that His Highness will watch His Majesty make a wrong decision?"
